The Edifier M90 is a compact active speaker system built to replace a desktop pair, a soundbar or a small home cinema setup in one box. Edifier designed the Edifier M90 around 100W of total RMS output and a wide set of digital and analogue inputs, positioning it as a step up from the brand’s own M60 for anyone who wants more power and more connectivity without moving to separate components.
What Powers the Edifier M90’s Sound
Each Edifier M90 cabinet houses a 4-inch long-throw aluminium diaphragm mid-bass driver and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter, driven by dual high-efficiency Class D amplifiers for a combined 100W RMS. The system is built around end-to-end 24-bit/96kHz digital signal processing with a bi-amped active crossover and dynamic range control (DRC), and it carries both Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification, so the Edifier M90 can resolve detail from both wired and wireless sources rather than only from a digital input.
Connectivity Built for a Desktop, a TV or Both
The Edifier M90 covers Bluetooth V6.0, HDMI eARC, optical, USB-C and AUX inputs, so it can sit behind a monitor for desktop duty or connect to a TV and double as a compact soundbar replacement. When connected over HDMI eARC, enabling HDMI CEC on the TV lets the Edifier M90 be controlled with the TV’s own remote for power, mute and volume. Bluetooth multipoint connection is also supported through the EDIFIER ConneX app, letting two paired devices share the system without manually reconnecting each time.
Control, Sound Presets and the ConneX App
Day to day, the Edifier M90 can be run from its 2.4GHz omni-directional remote or the onboard control knob, with three preset sound effects available directly from the remote. The EDIFIER ConneX app adds further control, letting owners switch input sources, manage playback and build their own custom sound effect to match music, films or games rather than relying only on the presets. A SUB OUT port also lets the Edifier M90 hand bass duties to an external subwoofer in rooms where the built-in drivers need the extra support.
Pricing and Availability
The Edifier M90 is available now in Black and White finishes, priced at $369.99 in the US and £299.99 in the UK, through Edifier’s own site and major retailers. Each cabinet measures 133mm (W) x 212mm (H) x 225mm (D), keeping the footprint compact relative to the power on offer.
Following Up on the Edifier M60
The Edifier M90 builds directly on the earlier M60, keeping that model’s compact active-speaker format while adding HDMI eARC, a higher 100W RMS output and the newer ConneX app ecosystem. Edifier first showed the M90 at CES 2026, and this review looks at the finished retail version now that it has reached shelves with its final specification and pricing confirmed.
